The Sims(TM) FreePlay is a strategic life simulation game developed by EA Mobile and later with Firemonkeys Studios. It is a freemium version of The Sims for mobile devices and was released worldwide on December 15, 2011 for iOS devices, on February 15, 2012 for Android, July 31, 2013 for BlackBerry 10 and September 12, 2013 for Windows Phone 8. The game was released for Kindle Fire in October 2012. In the game, players build houses, control virtual people called Sims to satisfy their needs and wishes, and let them complete different kinds of actions to gain "Simoleons", "LifeStyle Points" (both of which are currencies in the game) and XP. Unlike other Sims games, The Sims FreePlay runs in real-time and takes real time to complete actions. All actions must be instructed by players, unlike in the computer version, where Sims can have some degree of autonomy. Players can currently progress through 55 levels to unlock new content and create up to 34 Sims. In the game, only married sims can have children and there is a limit on the amount of allowable couples due to a limit on the people in the player's town. However, if the player buys items off the online store, they become a VIP that will allow them to increase the number of sims they can have in their town. In the game, there are main quests and discovery quests. Whereas regular quests are required, the discovery quests are optional.

Age Groups

Sims have different age groups they go through to grow up and age. First, to have a baby, you buy a crib and place it in the house of the baby's intended parents. Then you pay 3 LP to have a baby. It will take 24 hours, and after it is done you can name the baby and pick its features and clothes.

Babies

Babies are the first stage of life a Sim goes through. When you are a baby, you can be lifted out of your crib and played with, or to be onto the floor to crawl. Adults can also do actions with the baby in the crib or with certain objects (such as a bathtub, a bed, or a couch). You can buy special items for a baby, such as a rattle, a highchair, or a nightlight.

Toddlers

Toddlers are the second stage of a sim's life. Once you complete the quest for toddlers (available at level 12) and bake the birthday cake you can age your baby into a toddler. Once a baby is turned into a toddler, the crib can be reused. Toddlers can play games with an adult sim (such as hide-and-seek and pat-a-cake) but cannot have any romantic or negative relationships with anyone.

Preteens

Preteens are the third stage of a Sim's life. After finishing the quest "Preparing for Preteens" (unlocked at level 15) and baking a birthday cake, use it on a toddler and you will get a preteen. Preteens can interact with more items, such as the refrigerator, trampoline, and more. They are also taller and look more like adults. They also gain a few more interactions, like gaining "Jump on Bed".

Teenagers
